A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 11: Mr Donovan To The Rescue
Sapphire's POVThere he was, standing so close beside me with his strong arm wrapped around me. The intense look he gave me and the burning touch of his fingertips on my cheek was capable of rendering any girl spellbound. And even I was no exception. I couldn't help but stare at him in awe as he did what he did.But I had to focus and not let my guard down. Only foolish girls would let themselves be swayed by his charm. And I had to remind myself that just hours ago, I was showering him with abuses because I thought he was an asshole and he was.But right now this asshole was here to save my ass from a much bigger asshole who just couldn't take no for an answer. And I was more than happy to play along."I'm sorry, I was actually on my way to meet you but was suddenly held up by this crazy guy," I said to Mr Donovan as I gently rested my hand on his broad chest, my eyes never leaving Austin.Austin had a pure look of shock, confusion, anger and hurt spread all over his face. I'd never
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 12: The Drive Home
Sapphire's POV "How many times has he cheated on you?" Mr Donovan commenced his interrogation. "How did you know he cheated on me?" "Lucky guess." "I only caught him red-handed once, why?" "You really want to throw your relationship away because he cheated on you just once?" "He's probably been doing it for a long time. And besides, isn't that enough reason?" I furrowed my brows in confusion. "Jay Z cheated on Beyonce, Offset cheated on Cardi, Kevin cheated on Eniko, Jada cheated on Will..." "What's your point?" I cut him off sharply. "They got past it and are still together." "You're unbelievable! You want to preach to me about relationships? What would someone like you know about relationships?" I scoffed and looked away. "Someone like me? I'd like to think I'm more experienced than you in that field. I'm a pro and you're..." He glanced at me and finished his sentenc
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 13: He Called & She Came
Sapphire's POV Mr Donovan had called me to his office the next morning, much to my surprise. He'd said he'd be coming late to work but he was already there even before I arrived. I wasn't done with the assignment he gave me. Hell! I hadn't even begun yet and given his irritable personality, I knew for a fact that he'd be anything but happy when he found out. So I mentally prepared myself for his usual annoying talks. He always had something vexatious to say to me. However, I wasn't prepared for what happened as I stepped into his office. I was definitely not expecting to be pulled into a tight embrace. Mr Donovan hugged me so passionately that I was completely stunned, I stood like a post. What the hell was happening? – my thought exactly. When he finally released me, he gazed at me for what seemed like a minute and then without warning, his lips fiercely captured mine. I was just too dazed to react and my brain couldn't register anything at t
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 14: A Gift & A Paranoid Girl
Eric's POV My morning would have been perfect had my sorry excuse of a mother, Patricia not ruined it for me. That woman was an incarnation of chaos and everything ignoble. That very morning, as I woke up, stretching my limbs, I felt a tingling sensation of someone's fingers run down my bare chest. My eyes instantly opened and I jolted up from my bed wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. I gazed at the girl lying seductively on my bed. She was pretty, curvy and slim – just how I liked my women. But at that moment, none of that mattered. What I was concerned about was how she not only got into my house but in my bedroom as well. "Who are you? How'd you get in here?" "I'm Lauren," she smiled, "Your mother sent me here." "My mother did what?" Of course, I should've known. My mother would stop at nothing in order to ensure that I got married. I was even wondering how quiet she'd gotten over the issue. Normally, she'd
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 15: No Going Back
Sapphire's POV"So you're really not going back to D'Writers?" Jamila asked me yet again.I laid motionless in her bed, wrapped in a thick, padded quilt even though the weather was fairly hot. I had been feeling feverish since the previous night but I had Jamila to take care of me. She even let me spend the night over at her place."Nope, I'd much rather stay jobless," I replied and snuggled up with a fluffy pillow beside me.After I had slapped that idiot, Mr Donovan, I'd packed my stuff and bolted out of the place. I needn't be told that my action was equivalent to kissing my job goodbye. I didn't have to wait for him to kick me out. Heaven knew I'd rather go bald than let him have the satisfaction of firing me. And just for the record, I absolutely loved my hair.I honestly thought he would immediately do something drastic to get back at me. Actually, I was expecting him to run after me and perhaps return the slap. But would he really do that? With that man, I expected the worse. H
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 16: Open Up
Sapphire’s POVMr Donovan had an unreadable expression but I could have sworn I saw his lips part into a small smirk when he said in a husky voice, “Hello, tigress.”I took my time to stare at him, giving him a once-over. As always, he was dressed in one of his finest business suits except this time he wasn’t wearing a tie. The upper buttons of his shirt underneath the jacket were left unfastened and hence he gave everyone a glimpse of his perfectly sculpted chest. And it was more than enough to leave the ladies drooling so early in the morning.Except me, of course.His dark hair was wet and fresh from the shower. That, I was sure of, seeing how soppy strands of hair fell to his forehead and a few drops of water graced his face. He was standing only two inches away from me and his scent invaded my nostrils, completely erasing the stench of Gwen’s poop that had been lingering there. Mr Donovan smelt like lavender and gardenia combined or maybe I just thought he did. But the point was
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 17: It’s A Proposal
Sapphire’s POV“Let go of me! Let me go!” I screamed and began to push Mr Donovan off me, my hands coming in between me and him. They were resting on his chest and my fingers brushed the opening of his shirt, creasing his skin, as I tugged myself out of his strong hold. But my efforts were useless.“Let go of me!” I screamed again.Mr Donovan sucked in a harsh breath and exhaled, his face closely positioned to mine. His breath was so hot, I felt it cascading on my face and touching the tip of my nose. It was perfect for the cold that had been nagging me since the previous day and oddly, I enjoyed the warmth of it a little bit. Keyword – a little bit.But that didn’t change the fact that he was here to get revenge, that he was here to in fact kill me or worse? What could be worse than being killed? – I thought to myself and didn’t fail to give myself a mental smack. I was really losing it this morning and only one person was responsible for that.I wiggled in Mr Donovan’s arms like a w
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 18: Will You Marry Me?
Sapphire’s POV “Will you marry me?” “Will you marry me?” “Will you marry me?”Mr Donovan’s words resounded in my ears. I froze on the spot While these words kept echoing from one ear to the other. I must’ve heard him wrong – I thought. There was no way Mr Donovan could have said that. I most definitely had heard him wrong.“What did you say?” I asked him for clarity. It came out as a mere whisper hinted with a little stutter. I wasn’t sure if he heard me so I decided to ask the question again.“I want you to marry me,” Mr Donovan replied in a stern voice, shutting me up before I could even open my mouth to ask him what I had intended to ask him.My mouth dropped open wide and my eyes, even wider. He said it! He really said it! Then, I hadn’t heard him wrong the first time. What in the world was going on?I was still staring at Mr Donovan agape, completely dumbfounded and glued to the ground on which I was standing. Hearing him say those words again were even worse, more stupefying an
